ABOUT US

MARITIME ADVANCED RESEARCH CENTRE (CTO) is a modern, multidisciplinary research and design centre.

We design and supply research devices and measuring equipment for the needs of the fluid mechanics used. In addition, we offer test stands used in teaching laboratories, industrial measurement laboratories and in medical engineering.

MARITIME ADVANCED RESEARCH CENTRE (CTO) has many years of experience in the operation of its own research equipment. Conducting research allows you to look at the design of research and measuring devices from the User’s point of view. This enables a better understanding of the customers’ needs and the proper selection of the technical and operational characteristics of the designed devices.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with our offer.

WIND TUNNELS

The wind tunnel is the basic research equipment of experimental aerodynamics, used for: research of gas flow around the object, testing and measurement of pressures around the analyzed objects….

CAVITATION TUNNELS

The cavitation tunnel is a laboratory device of experimental hydromechanics used mainly for cavitation model tests of marine propellers performed in a homogeneous velocity field and cavitation tests of model thrusters and rudders in a simulated hull velocity field.

TOWING CARRIAGES
FOR TOWING TANKS

The towing carriage is an indispensable device for model tests of ships in deep and shallow water conditions.

WATER CHANNELS

CTO is a manufacturer of water channels tailored to individual customer requirements. It produces flow-through water channels for testing test plates and pressure drops, as well as wave channels for studying the wave phenomenon at the boundary of liquids with different densities.

EQUIPMENT
OF RESEARCH DEVICES

CTO not only provides test stands and devices, but also equips them with measuring equipment and auxiliary devices tailored to the individual needs of the User.

MODERNIZATION OF RESEARCH DEVICES AND EQUIPMENT

Modernization is a term that includes not only “renewing” a device, but also includes changing the functionality of the devices, making them operational, upgrading or making them more efficient.

AUTOMATICS

CTO is also a designer and supplier of industrial automation devices and systems, used in manufactured research and measuring devices as well as facilities at sea and on land.

DESIGNING

All devices and designs are made in agreement with the Ordering Party, in order to best match the device or equipment to his needs. The scope of design work includes the preparation of a conceptual and executive design, as well as the development of as-built documentation.
